Feels solid and safe
July 12, 2019
This carseat features deluxe and durable fabric with a modern design and color. It is extremely padded all over, including add-ons for head cushion and a seat one for tiny 5lb or less newborns. My child seems very comfortable in the seat and always slept great. Maxi Cosi performs well on safely standards, and I already have two of their Pria 70 seats for my other children and really like them. The seat is easy to install in the car and easy to install in the stroller system. However, it is very heavy, but I don't think this is necessarily a flaw. Afterall, my 2 month old weighs 13 lbs and this is a soft, cushiony car seat. I just have my husband carry it if we need to actually remove it from the car, otherwise I just leave it in there. Afterall, I'd have to trade cushion in order to make it lighter, something I wouldn't be willing to do. Many articles have come out recently about how dangerous it is to let your child nap in car seats outside the car, so I'm fine with only removing the car seat to bring it into the house for loading/unloading baby. The release button to remove the seat from the base was a little tricky for both my husband and myself as it seemed to take multiple attempts every time to actually release from the base. This could have been user error that we would have got the hang of with more time. The sunshade was something I really looked forward to having because no one likes to look back and see the sun beating down on their infant; however, this sunshade is so flimsy it was really inconvenient to adjust and took both hands. Also, I had to move the front seat up pretty far to accommodate this car seat, more so than even the Pria 70. This isn't a huge deal since I have RAV, but smaller cars might find it difficult.
